Tuesday's Tip - Backup, Backup, Backup

I know you’ve heard this before.You’ve read this before.Perhaps you have even written about it.However, are we following our own advice and
the advice of our friends? (I know I haven't been as conscientious as I probably should.)

Many of our friends and neighbors have survived tornados,
hurricanes, forest fires and floods.Every day some of them have fires in their homes.Some of them have insurance and can
rebuild.That’s the physical
building.But how do you replace the
memories, heirlooms, photographs, school papers, certificates, passports, etc,
etc, etc.We never know when the natural
or man-made disaster may meet our files.

There are so many ways to backup now.We aren’t limited to an external hard drive
or making a CD copy of our files and sending it to a friend or taking it to our
Safe Deposit box.So, are we following
our own advice?

So, backup regularly and especially every time before you
leave home with your computer.

Welcome

I'm glad you found Karen's Genealogy Oasis blog. Come around the back and share a cool glass of freshly brewed iced tea or lemonade while we sit on the patio and listen to the fountains and watch the birds.

I'd love to share the information I have on family lines as well as research techniques and new discoveries. And let's talk about genealogy activities all over the United States but particularly in Arizona and other southwestern states.

Check out the My Surnames tab at the top of the blog to see which people I am researching. If any of these people look familiar, let's plan on getting together.

Please feel free to write to me. To send me a message write me at karenazgen [at] gmail [dot] com. I hope to hear from you.
